Summer Wind, Beachfront with incredible views! 5 miles from Galveston sea wall!


There is bed space for 10 people. 8 or 9 adults is comfortable. We do allow up to 11, with one on the couch or on the spare mattress that is under the bed. This beachfront home has one of the best views of any home on the West End, yet close to the fun of downtown Galveston. Easy walk to Galveston State Park. Our beach has a private feeling and is very quiet (no cars are allowed to drive on beach thus no worries about the kids/dogs). Once you cross the bridge from the mainland you will find a unique experience. We feel like we are entering a different world when we visit our beachfront island home! This is a pet friendly home with a pet fee of $75 per pet.

COVID-19: The house is ideal for social distancing. The beach is not crowded, there is plenty of outdoor deck space, and I recently upgraded the HVAC with a media filter and a UV air treatment system. Our cleaning company disinfects all touch surfaces (light switches, door knobs, counter tops, etc). If at any time our beach is closed down, the city prohibits short term rentals, or there is a state wide lock-down and you are prevented from using your reservation I will return all money paid. Please stay healthy!

MISC: This home is set back, plenty of beach in front and only small dunes between you and the beach. Please note, the map illustration can make it appear there are lots in front of Summer Wind. If you use a satellite view you will see this is not the case. This is a front row, ocean front home!

Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a water park or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Beautiful home! We loved our stay (minus the one unpleasant direct neighbor who had fishing poles lined up down the beach the whole week sun up to sun down, but that was just bad luck not the property’s fault). The home had everything we needed

The best thing this property has going for it is the location. I was appreciative that John allowed us to amend our stay and add our pet after the initial booking. Communication was pleasant and timely. The house is right in the beach and has amazing views and convenience to the beach. You can literally walk to the beach directly from the house. However, the cleanliness of the house is not what I’d hoped it would be. There were stains and dirt on the walls and doors and cabinets in the kitchen. It appears in some places that there has been significant water damage that has not been repaired. There was built up dust on the baseboards, return vent, and on general items in the house. The linens seemed clean. This house is superb for location, but looks very used. The kitchen was adequately stocked for cooking, but some pans were dirty and several utensils (knives, pizza cutter) were worn out. The main shower was also laughably tiny, like it belonged in a mobile home or something. I am 5’1 and found it difficult to turn around in. So, overall, great for location and view, but overpriced based on condition of the home.

The downstairs patio is completely covered by the house above...and ALWAYS has plenty of wind. And, the house AC works PERFECTLY! We always had problems in Surfside with ACs that didn't always do their job. This is now our go-to house during the summer. No need to look elsewhere. And you are 10 minutes from Randalls on 61st Street.

This was our fourth time to stay at this property and we love it. The house is super clean and has everything needed except food. Walk down the stairs and right on the water. Plus the beach is private and no vehicles allowed. We will always stay here each time we bring the whole family to Galveston.

Beautiful views from beachfront house

This was our second time staying here and again, we had a great time. The beach access is right there but it's just foot traffic access no cars which makes it less crowded than other beaches with public access. Floor to ceiling windows in the living room dining room area makes you feel like you're on the beach even inside.
